Summer is ending here in Maine, and its been so dry that the leaves are turning color just from the excessive drought we’ve experienced for quite a while now. We see that lots of our friends & customers in the South have had major flooding, and wish there was a way to get some of that rain up here. We’d welcome it! But, what goes around comes around, so I expect the pendulum will swing the other way pretty soon.
Speaking of coming around again, we’ve developed a new wrinkle on our old favorite SRC Carbine. We took a Medium Profile .223/5.56 barrel, pushed the gas port out to the Mid position, added the mid-length heat shielded hand guards. The result is a well balanced and versatile rifle – our new R16MLFTT SRC-MID. With a bit longer sight radius, whatever sights you add to it will help improve the already excellent accuracy in our barrels. Ask your local FFL dealer about it, and if he doesn’t have one in yet, rest assured he will soon as we’ve been sending them out regularly to all the distributors this summer. Check out the details on this new model below.
That new SRC-MID – as well as all our rifles and accessories can be seen at windhamweaponry.com/ or call us for a free catalog (1-855-808-1888).
As always, hunt and shoot safely, and feel free to contact us with any AR related questions.

TOPIC: Inside the Windham Weaponry WW-15

 

 
 

The vast majority of AR15 shooters have a good idea about how the weapons work, but for those of you that might like a clearer view, here’s a look inside with some explanations of what goes on.

First here is the gas port coming out of the barrel and into the gas block. When a round is fired and the bullet passes the port, the hot gasses enter the port and then into the gas tube.

The hot gasses travel down the gas tube entering the gas key on top of the bolt carrier. Through a port in the carrier the gasses blow into the area at the back of the bolt itself. This forces the carrier backwards away from the bolt. As the carrier moves backwards the cam pin that goes into the bolt through it, slides in a notch that forces the bolt to rotate. This rotates and unlocks the bolt after the pressure of the fired round has dropped with the bullet exiting the bore. This allows the carrier to continue its backward motion to the rear stopping when it goes as far back as it can against the buffer and spring. The empty case is simultaneously extracted and ejected from the gun and the carrier moves back forward under tension of the buffer spring, stripping a fresh round from the magazine and chambering it into battery.

This photo shows the carrier compressing buffer and spring all the way to the rear.

Inside the receiver, this photo shows what the hammer and trigger positions look like when the bolt is locked to the rear. When the gun is fired and the hammer comes back, the disconnector engages the hook on the back of the hammer holding it back. When the trigger is released it drops off of the disconnector and stops on the sear which is on the trigger at the sear notch in the hammer. This makes it so the gun can only be fired one shot at a time or in “semi-auto” only. 

 

And this is where the forward assist pawl engages the notches in the bolt carrier assembly. If the weapon does not go fully into battery when chambering a round, pushing the forward assist helps the carrier forward to send the bolt all the way into battery.

 

 

If you ever have questions about your rifle, you are always welcome to call Windham Weaponry Customer Service (Toll Free: 1-855-808-1888). Shoot Safely!

We receive a variety of customer service related questions from our customers, and in order to better serve all of you, highlight one question each month.

Due to a large number of inquiries from customers on this topic for both .223/5.56 and .308, we are highlighting this question again.

 

This month’s question is:

I’d like to change the stock on my Windham Weaponry rifle. Is the Buffer Tube Mil-Spec or Commercial?

Answer:

All Windham Weaponry Rifles .223/5/56 and .308 are shipped with Commercial Specification Buffer Tubes (also called the Receiver Extension Tube). The differences are shown in these photos:

POF Adjustable Gas Blocks for AR15 & .308 
Part Numbers: 
GB-ADJ-CAR / GB-ADJ-MID / GB-ADJ-RIF / GB-ADJ-MID-308
Price: $ 149.95
POF’s unique Adjustable Gas Block/Gas Tube System offers easy regulation of
your rifle’s gas system to achieve optimum operating efficiency. 9 different tuning
positions allow for complete control over variables such as recoil, suppressor use
and ammunition differences. Control the rate of fire, gas flow, and ultimately the
reliability of your rifle. Adjusting the gas system is easy – the front of the gas block has a dial that accepts a flat screwdriver, 3/32″ hex wrench, or the adjusting tool included in the kit. The system features a straight gas tube to eliminate the heat buildup that exists at the bent portion of a standard gas tube. This feature is extremely important for select-fire and/or suppressed rifles which are subject to very high heat levels. By reducing the built up heat, reliability and durability are improved. The Gas Block and Regulator are machined from 4140 Chrome Moly steel and nitride heat treated for the utmost durability. The Gas Tube is made from 304 Stainless Steel. The system mounts on .750″ diameter barrels by means of taper pins or set screw, and installation by the WW factory or a skilled armorer/gunsmith is recommended. This Gas Block is intended for use with free-floating handguards only. Photo below shows the complete CAR Length package as well as its component parts and adjusting tool. The MID; RIF & MID-308 models differ by length. Made in USA by POF (Patriot Ordnance Factory).

TOPIC: Is My Flash Hider or Muzzle Brake Removable?

 

 
Now and then I get the question “Is my flash hider or muzzle brake removable?”
The majority of rifles we build have removable A2 flash hiders but we also build rifles for states that have banned some features of modern sporting rifles. One of the banned features in those states is a flash hider or barrel threads that you can access. For those states we weld on a muzzle brake which is not removable.
Sometimes one of these rifles makes it to a state in which there is no law against having a flash hider and I am asked if the brake can simply be removed with a wrench. This cannot be done without professional gunsmithing to drill through the welds to get the pins out. If you put a wrench on the brake and force it off it will destroy the threads and also most likely put a stress ring in the bore at the muzzle that will destroy the barrel.Here’s the difference between a removable flash hider and a brake.This photo shows an A2 flash hider that is removable:

Here is a muzzle brake that is NOT removable:

We also make 14.5″ barrels that have welded flash hiders on them to make the overall length of the barrel 16″.
Under Federal law any barrel under 16″ is considered a short barreled rifle or “SBR” and you need a $200 tax stamp from the ATF to legally possess a rifle with a barrel under 16″
So our 14.5″ barrels we offer for commercial sale have flash hiders welded on them to bring them to the legal length of just over 16″. These flash hiders have to be non-removable to comply with Federal law regarding SBRs.
We make them with both Vortex Flash Hiders and extended A2 Flash Hiders:

Vortex:

Extended A2:

Note that all of these brakes and flash hiders are pinned and welded on both the top and the bottom

In the many years I’ve been repairing AR15s I’ve seen a lot of ruined barrels where people tried to remove a pinned and welded brake or flash hider. Before trying to remove one, be sure that it is not welded on.

It’s hard to believe that summer is almost over, and what a summer it has been!
The Texas Sheriff’s Convention was a huge success and I would like to thank all of you that came by the booth to say hello.
As some of you may know, I like to shoot hogs and there isn’t any better place to shoot hogs than Texas, so after the Sheriff’s Convention I traveled to Victoria TX to meet up with my good friend Gary Smejkal in order to shoot some hogs. I was with my two sons, Christian and Samuel, for the shoot and boy did we have a great time! I would like to give a shout out to Gary’s cousin Jimmy for letting us hunt on his farmland. As you can see by the photos we had a lot of success to say the least. 

 

 

Most of us were shooting the 7.62×39 (Christian shot a .308) and it was truly a hog slayer!! I can’t say enough about how pleased I was with the function and accuracy of that platform. Between the 4 of us we shot nearly 1,000 rounds without one failure to fire. Just amazing! (well, maybe not for Windham Weaponry rifles). Christian shot the biggest hog, at over 300 pounds and Sammy had the shot of the night as he hit one on a full run at 85 yards that flipped it right over and it was dead with one shot. Just an amazing time and to spend it with my two boys and good friends just made it that much better.
I would like to give a HUGE thank you to Josh and Philip from EoTech for the use of their thermal unit and to Angelo from FLIR for letting us use his FLIR units as well as the FLIR hand held thermals.

I know the AR market is crazy out there, but please know that Windham Weaponry always takes care of LE/Military so if you have any needs, please reach out to Cindy or me. We are here for you. Cthompson@windhamweaponry.com  or  Tcoons@windhamweaponry.com

We hope you all enjoyed a wonderful 4th of July! Here in Maine we’re appreciating all the beautiful sunny weather we’ve had – and we invite you come to Maine whenever you can to enjoy all our beautiful State has to offer. You could even stop in Windham to try our new 12, Lane State of the Art Shooting Range. Yes, we have Rental or Try Before You Buy Firearms!
If Varmint Hunting is part of your future plans, consider one of our superbly accurate VEX models. This month we are featuring the R20FSSFTWS-EN-1 model. What – you might wonder – does all that alphabet soup mean? R20F indicates a 20″ barreled rifle fluted for light weight; SS describes the 416R Stainless Steel barrel material; FTWS says that this model features a full laminated stock and forend set of Maine Birch Hardwood; and EN indicates the unique Electroless Nickel finish on the forged aluminum receivers. The VEX series is specifically chambered for .223 Rem. to handle the heavy bullet varmint cartridges most hunters would select – though it will just as easily and safely fire 5.56mm ammunition. This fine Varmint Rifle is shipped with a 5 Round Magazine to comply with hunting regulations, a non-slip and comfortable Hogue Overmolded Rubber Pistol Grip and a set of Picatinny Rail Scope Risers, so all you have to do is add your favorite scope, sight it in and go looking for woodchucks, prairie dogs or coyotes.

TOPIC: Installing the Phase 5 Extended Bolt Release for .308

 

 
 

 

First make sure the weapon is unloaded and remove the upper from the lower half of the rifle.

Using a 1/16″ Allen wrench, remove the bolt catch pin. A long straight Allen wrench as pictured is easiest, but you can also use a small L shaped Allen wrench as well.

Place the Phase 5 bolt release in the bolt catch slot and reinsert the bolt catch pin. Tighten down with the Allen wrench. You can also put a small drop of blue 242 Loctite on the threads to insure that the pin will not work loose over time.

Now by simply using your trigger finger you can release the bolt from the locked back position. This makes it very quick and easy to release the bolt after a magazine change without having to move the rifle from your target or your left hand from the handguard.

 

If you ever have questions about your rifle, you are always welcome to call Windham Weaponry Customer Service (Toll Free: 1-855-808-1888). Shoot Safely!

Exercise Your Freedom: Windham Weaponry Multi-Caliber System

By Sourav Chowdhury

This feature appears in the August ’16 issue of NRA America’s 1st Freedom, one of the official journals of the National Rifle Association.

The Windham Weaponry Multi-Caliber rifle system puts as many as four useful calibers in the same rifle case, and burnishes our belief that these savvy Yankees can package value like few others.

Windham SRC – Training with Iron Sights & Red Dot

Admittedly, I don’t spend enough time practicing with iron sights and red dots. During a recent range trip, this became painfully obvious when I wasn’t able to consistently produce anything less than 6 inch groups (at 50 yards) while using iron sights. My performance with a red dot sight wasn’t much better.

This month we’re featuring a new “slant” on an old favorite – our CDI Model. Diamondhead developed a new model free-float forend with accentuated slanted cooling slots, and we think it makes our CDI better looking than ever. The CDI was developed around the concept taking a highly accurate carbine and accessorizing it with our most popular “add-ons”. The result is a fast pointing rifle with great balance and, of course, great looks!
While I’m on the subject of customizing rifles, don’t forget that Windham Weaponry has a great “Special Build Program” whereby you can pick the base model rifle you want, and add any number of accessories from our catalog or website, and have us build “Your Rifle. Your Way.” Just call our Customer Service / Sales line (1-855-808-1888) for details, and Matt, Cheryl or Ron will get you up to speed.
All our rifles and accessories can be seen at windhamweaponry.com/ or call us for a free catalog (1-855-808-1888).
As always, hunt and shoot safely, and feel free to contact us with any AR related questions.

TOPIC: Choosing Iron Sights for the SRC 

 

 

 

 

When choosing iron sights for the SRC rifles, it is important to make sure you get the correct height front sight. Most manufacturers of rail mounted iron sights make two different heights for the front sight. With the SRC (and VEX rifles) you have to make sure you get a front sight that is for “same plane” sighting. In other words it has to be the same height as the rear sight that is mounted to the picatinny rail on the upper. Some confusion comes in here when you see a company that offers a “Gas block height detachable front sight”. Right now we are one of the only manufacturers that make an AR15 in which the picatinny rail on the gas block is on the same plane as the upper receiver. Most company’s gas blocks have rails that are lower than the rail on the upper. Front sights for these rifles have to be made taller to make up this difference in height. So what happens if you mount one of these taller front sights on an SRC is your rifle will end up shooting way too low, and you cannot move the front sight post down far enough to get the gun on target.
Below is approximately what the measurement is supposed to be for the front and rear sights. Note that is has to be the same or at least close to this measurement for both sights.
Rear sight, approximately 1.440″ from top of rail to aperture. 
Front sight, approximately 1.440″ from top of rail to top of front sight post.

TOPIC: A warning about suppressor use on Carbon Fiber rifles
 

 

With suppressor use becoming more and more legal and popular, it should be noted that the Carbon Fiber rifle was never designed for use with suppressors due to the increased back pressure.
 
For anyone that has purchased a Carbon Fiber rifle and wishes to use a suppressor, the receivers have to be upgraded to aluminum. To inquire about this upgrade and the cost just give Customer Service a call at 1-855-808-1888.

If you ever have questions about your rifle, you are always welcome to call Windham Weaponry Customer Service (Toll Free: 1-855-808-1888). Shoot Safely!

Subject: Just wanted to write a review
I first heard about Windham Weaponry about a year ago, while I was in the market for an AR chambered in .308. I considered many different companies, but on recommendation from my local FFL dealer, I decided to give Windham a shot. The rifle has performed flawlessly for the past year, having close to 1000 rounds through it. Since then, I have bought numerous items from the Windham store, including a Midwest Industries rail and low profile gas block for my .308. I have also bought a heavy buffer from them for my non-Windham AR15. Every single time I have dealt with Windham, they have been very quick about processing and shipping the orders, and every part I receive it TOP quality. I am forever a fan of Windham Weaponry, and hope to do much more business with them in the future. Keep up the great quality!
Thank you!

TOPIC: Inside the Windham Weaponry WW-15

 

 

The vast majority of AR15 shooters have a good idea about how the weapons work, but for those of you that might like a clearer view, here is a look inside. 

First, here is the gas port coming out of the barrel and into the gas block. When a round is fired and the bullet passes the port, the hot gasses enter the port and then into the gas tube.

The hot gasses travel down the gas tube entering the gas key on top of the bolt carrier. Through a port in the carrier the gasses blow into the area at the back of the bolt itself. This forces the carrier backwards away from the bolt. As the carrier moves backwards the cam pin that goes into the bolt through it, slides in a notch that forces the bolt to rotate. This rotates and unlocks the bolt after the pressure of the fired round has dropped with the bullet exiting the bore. This allows the carrier to continue its backward motion to the rear stopping when it goes as far back as it can against the buffer and spring. The empty case is simultaneously extracted and ejected from the gun and the carrier moves back forward under tension of the buffer spring, stripping a fresh round from the magazine and chambering it into battery.

Carrier compressing buffer and spring all the way to the rear.

This shows what the hammer and trigger positions look like when the bolt is locked to the rear. When the gun is fired and the hammer comes back, the disconnector engages the hook on the back of the hammer holding it back. When the trigger is released it drops off of the disconnector and stops on the sear which is on the trigger at the sear notch in the hammer. This makes it so the gun can only be fired one shot at a time or in “semi-auto” only.

This is where the forward assist pawl engages the notches in the bolt carrier assembly. If the weapon does not go fully into battery when chambering a round, pushing the forward assist helps the carrier forward to send the bolt all the way into battery.

We will have this Cutaway Rifle on display at the NRA Show in Louisville, Kentucky, May 20 – 22, along with lots of other fine Windham rifles. Come see us!

Developing a .308 for Hunters
 
   At January’s SHOT Show in Las Vegas this year, I was speaking with a number of distributors and dealers who felt there was a need for a .308 caliber Modern Sporting Rifle geared toward the hunting market. We put our heads together and built the parameters for a light weight .308 rifle (9.05 lbs) that was balanced and comfortable to handle, without a lot of overly expensive features to keep cost under control.
The result was our feature rifle for this month, the R20FFTM-308, and we think it all came together very nicely. The 20″ fluted barrel supplies long range accuracy, yet still keeps the weight down. The Magpul Fixed Length Buttstock brings multiple sling attachment options, along with a comfortable rubber recoil pad under which is a handy storage compartment for spare parts, ammo, compass, granola bars, etc. (well, maybe not all that at once!). The companion Magpul Rifle Length Forend offers multiple attachment options for M-Lok accessory rails and great internal heat shielding. A Hogue Overmolded Rubber Pistol Grip rounds out the ergonomic accessories and is the perfect, non-slip hunting pistol grip.
As with many WW models, we opted to leave the choice of sight, scope or optics up to the individual hunter, as those choices vary so much between individuals.  With Mil Std 1913 “Picatinny” rails on both receiver and gas block, we made adding those sight choices as easy as tightening the screws.
So, if you’re looking to hunt big game with a .308 caliber Modern Sporting Rifle, we just did all the preliminary work for you.  Happy hunting!
And be sure to take advantage of our current Spring Promotion. We’re offering a 10% discount and free ground shipping on all orders of $50 or more. Just use Code “PHIL” at checkout. This offer is good through April 30th, so make the best of your Daylight Savings Time!
See all our rifles and accessories at  windhamweaponry.com/  or call us for a free catalog.
As always, hunt & shoot safely, and feel free to contact us with any AR related questions.

TOPIC: “F” Marked Sight Base 

 

What is an “F” marked front sight base?
 

I get this question every now and then. “Why don’t you use ‘F’ marked front sight bases?”

I recently found this excellent video online that explains the original reason for the “F” marked front sight base, and how it really doesn’t make a great deal of difference whether the front sight base is the taller “F” marked or not. It usually boils down to a few extra clicks of front sight post adjustment which if excessive, can easily be remedied with a .040″ taller front sight post.

Subject: 7.62×39 AR Upper is Accurate!
Hello,
Several months ago I purchased one of your 7.62×39 Russian Uppers and attached it to an AR lower. It fit fine! I wanted a target/hunting 7.62 bullet and a case with more capacity than the .223 Remington. I have had SKS’s and AK’s, and accuracy at 100 yds was 8-15 inches with commercial ammo! Your Upper produced consistent 1.75×1.75 inch 5 shot groups at 100 yds with Tula 154g. sp ammo!  You have solved the problem of an accurate platform to shoot an underrated cartridge that is now both a target and hunting cartridge, and very economical, too!
Thanks for an excellent product – made in USA!!!

Hi,
I purchased your Heavy Barrel Dissipator Complete Upper for an existing lower I had. Took it to the range and it shoots very well – tight grouping. Extremely happy with the purchase. Dissipator AR’s are (in my opinion) under appreciated and deserve more consideration. Good to see you guys make one not only in a standard profile but also in a heavy profile barrel as well!

TOPIC: 
Installation of the Elftmann Tactical Drop In Trigger
 

 

 

First make sure rifle is unloaded then remove upper from lower. Now drive out the hammer and trigger pins to remove hammer, trigger and disconnector. Then unscrew and remove pistol grip screw and carefully remove being sure not to lose the safety detent or spring.  Note orientation of detent for reinstallation later. Remove safety selector.

Included is a bottom plate that is optional. It’s primarily for carbon fiber lowers so the tensioning screws don’t crack the lower. But there’s really no reason not to install it as it will keep the tensioning screws from marring the finish on the inside of the aluminum lowers as well.

Make sure the tensioning screws are even with the bottom of the assembly on both sides and drop the trigger in.

Install pins and safety selector. It’s important to install the safety selector before securing the tensioning pins as it will not go in after tightening them down.
Now tighten the tensioning screws evenly on both sides tightening each side ¼ turn each until the screws are snug and the hammer/trigger pins are secure. Then install the locking screws on top of the tensioning screws to keep them from backing out.
Also note there is a trigger pull weight adjustment screw in the rear of the assembly which allows you to adjust the weight of the pull. Clockwise makes it heavier, counter clockwise makes it lighter. If it is adjusted too heavy the trigger won’t pull, if it is adjusted too light the disconnector won’t release.
If you ever have questions about your rifle, you are always welcome to call Windham Weaponry Customer Service (Toll Free: 1-855-808-1888). Shoot Safely!

QUESTION:  Do you make a left-handed AR rifle ?
 

 

ANSWER:  We do not make any of our rifles with a left side ejection.  All our rifles have a brass deflector behind the ejection port opening and the ejection path for the brass is usually at the 3 to 3:30 position. We do offer a flat top brass deflector that will direct the empty cases down just in front of your feet.  Here is a link to the item on our website:

Subject:  Found out about your company

 

Hi to All,
Just wanted to drop a line of my recent learning of Windham Weaponry. I had stopped by a local gun shop I often visit and was looking to buy a new AR. I had mind set to purchase a new Colt, that’s what I have always wanted being a combat vet, I had a attachment to Colt. The gun shop owner was helping me out with the 6290 LE that I was looking at. He also had a Windham Weaponry MPC next to it. So, as I was looking at the Colt I had asked him about the MPC. He had told me the story behind Windham. I had both rifles in my hand now at the time, I was studying both rifles really hard. Keep in mind my heart set for the Colt.

To my surprise I noticed that the MPC had a better feel of tighter tolerances and seemed like it had a better solid feel over the Colt. I thought long and hard about the MPC so I told the owner that I would be back after I did some more research on Windham Weaponry. Did a lot of research on YouTube and so forth to find alot of review’s positive reviews on Windham Weaponry.

So, in short, I went back to the gun shop and made my mind up to purchase the Windham Weaponry MPC. I am very, very, pleased with the attention to detail you all take to your rifles and the fit and finish. I have to say and with alot of people agreeing with me on this, that Windham rifles are absolutely one of the finest AR rifles on the market. I’m glad I learned of your new company, and proud to own one of your products. Thought I would share my story with you all and thank you for building quality products made in the USA!!!! And one other important feature of your quality rifles is PRICE!! Way to go!!

Thank you again,

Eric
